AKG Wireless Noise Cancellation On-Ear Headphones (N60NCBT)

TL;DR - worth the money, especially if you prefer on ear vs. over ear.As someone who doesn't like over-ear headphones, but still wanted decent noise cancelling headphones, I really really like these. Is the noise cancelling perfect? No. But it works about as well as you could expect from something that's on ear. If you're listening to any music with the noise cancelling, you really can't hear what's going on around you. They are super comfortable and I can wear them just as long as I can wear the Bose QuietComfort 35 ii. Sound quality is pretty good too, I'd say almost Bose quality, although if you are super into bass, then these may not be for you. If you are not a audiophile or super super into music, then you won't feel like these are lacking. Finally, they look a lot better than any of the over ear headphones. Beats is the only other brand in this price range that makes anything remotely stylish. I'm not a fan of beats because of the way they sit, so I've been looking for an alternative for a while when I finally found these.

I've always been an AKG fan using their industry standard K240's along side my Sony MDR7506 in my home music studio.The N60NC wireless has nice rich audio, tight sub-low frequencies (not for bass heads), noise cancellation is a tad shy of my Bose QC35 (Series I)'s but the audio quality makes up for that. There is a faint hiss at idle as with the Bose, Sony MDR-1000X/B's and WH1000XM2 which I also own, with the ANC turned on. There is no artificial anechoic chamber kind of feeling or pressure when the ANC is active. If used in really windy conditions you will get the wind noise coming through the ANC which on the Bose you can adjust via app.As with any headphone, these headphones need to be broken in for at least a good 10-20 hours of normal use to really enjoy its true sound.The on-ear earpieces are very comfortable. I had them on 4 hours straight and no issue with them. The headband is a little short vs the Bose but I have a big pumpkin head so I am sure it will fit most people without issue. No pain at the crown of my head.The downside is there is no speech to let you know how much battery power is left like the Bose or Sony's and no way to really adjust the ANC in wireless mode. The Bose even tells you which device(s) you are connected to via voice. The N60NC headphones paired to my MacBookPro and Iphone, Ipods no issue and it pairs 2 units at a time like the Bose. BT connectivity seems to be pretty solid, but frequent audio drop outs were noticeable when listening to audio off my MBP while either my iphone or ipod was also connected. No issue other way around (listening to iphone/ipod while MBP also connected) or if only my MBP was connected. I do not have this issue on the Bose.Overall, if I had to choose between the Bose and AKG, I would go with the Bose QC35 (Series I)'s without hesitation. But my Sony MDR-1000X/B and WH1000XM2 are still my go-to ANC headphones for airplane travel and daily use even if it can only connect to one device at a time.*update* Not even a month had past and the lowest volume is no longer very low volume.. not to forget the BT issues I've had above. Although the sound is good, the electronics seems unreliable especially for a $300 unit.

I have own three pairs of AKG Noise cancelling so far. This last one had the Noise Cancelling barely working compared to the two others from the start. Now 8 months in, the Noise Cancelling does not work at all. Disappointing to pay so much money for a defective product.

Noise cancelling works in planes etc. Sound quality is good, on par or better than Bose (but not awesome, I have other AKG products that sound better). Knocking down some starts because the on-off switch rattles if you walk with the headseat which is distracting/annoying.

Very compact. Battery lasts long time easy to pair. Very nice item

The sound - wonderful crisp highs and tight mids and bass.The noise cancelling - throw away your Bose.... these are way better at noise cancelling.The build... Solid, built to last but feel light and comfortable when worn.I travel for work a lot and these are exactly what I needed.

Great pair of headphones. The noise cancelling is top notch. Not disappointed in the least with my purchase. As far as sound goes, the quality is on par with my previous pair of wired AKG N60 Mac's. Would highly recommend these pair to anyone looking for a compact set of wireless noise cancelling headphones.

These headphones worked great for awhile, but soon the small plastic pieces around the speakers started to crack or break. There have been 2 small cracks that were fixed with some glue, but today, after 2 years of semi regular use (with care) the plastic that holds the headphone on broke, and now it is loose and unwearable. Disappointed because I enjoyed the other features of these. Build quality is just not as good as it could be. They should last with normal use (almost all at a desk).
